Algebra

Inspiration struck while in the middle of the Algebra lesson. I couldn't concentrate until I wrote it down.

Lesson eighty-three, Distributive property and exponents, All around me, Rules with no exception, No twisting or bending, There is no redemption, Never different, I don’t understand, Everything has an explanation, This is so bland, Why can’t I make sense of it? This is my question Sincerely I wonder My humble confession Is it really just letters and numbers?
